Some of us remember drills where we hid under our classroom desks in case the Russians bombed us. Now our President works for Russia.

I got an invitation today to take part in a symposium hosted by an organization I greatly respect, on a topic I have worked on for 25 years. The meeting will be in Washington DC and I don’t think I can do it.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

I like to try to learn something new every day and today i learned that in the US the word “peace” is spelled u-n-c-o-n-d-i-t-i-o-n-a-l s-u-r-r-e-n-d-e-r.

Donald Trump signed an executive order making English the official language of the United States. He and many of those who voted for him can’t even speak or write it properly.

Finishing my second article on masks in healthcare, and one thing is clear… we are failing our most vulnerable. Patients are being infected in the place they go to get care, by the people they trust to do no harm. We know how to prevent these infections & we aren’t even trying

I’m confused by all the headline references to a “shouting match.” I saw one side shouting and the other side getting shouted over when he tried to talk.

I'm not an expert in geopolitics. I'm trying to learn, just like others. I've found curious these accusations that Ukraine triggered Russian aggression by deigning to try to join NATO. This response from a group of Ukrainian economists I find interesting. voxukraine.org/en/open-lett...

I’m finding myself torn between a “Try to find the humour in it all” and a “This looks like a good place to start digging my bomb shelter” mindset so I might try writing some satire while on my breaks from mixing cement.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

There are supposed Presidential hopefuls amongst the Trump cabinet. This is their one chance to distance themselves from today's disgrace or kiss their long term careers goodbye.

I’ll never understand why we’ve accepted hosptial acquired covid as inevitable. Why people are resigned to the fact that if they go in for care, they will likely catch covid. It doesn’t have to be inevitable. We shouldn’t be complacent about a 10% mortality rate. We can do more.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

As non-Americans, I think our best bet right now is to make our media and public figures stop SANE WASHING all of the crazy coming from the WH. Call it what it is in words that are appropriate: insane actions of a grifting doomsday cult that has taken over the US government.
